Is it strange?


Recommended Posts

...to replace your current older, high mileage car with a newer, low mileage example of the exact same model? Do people do it? Does it speak of my reluctance to change?

Because I'm seriously considering trading in the white '99 Passat for a dark blue 2005 Passat. Or I could get a less lavishly appointed 2002 Audi A4 with higher miles, and an uglier color (silver...bleh), but get more "status" for my money.

Thoughts? Comments? Opinions?

I've thought of doing it..my '00 Grand Cherokee Laredo has almost 80k on it..thought about looking for a low mileage '04 Overland (top-of-the-line model, last year of the 2nd gen design)...

My first car was a 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado, purchased with 66k miles on it. It was stolen and totaled with ~160k miles on it.

I'm considering getting rid of both my '04 CTS and '03 Avalanche and picking up another 1985 Toronado with low mileage.

yes, you're crazy. :dizzy:

I did it. When my 1994 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight was totaled, I bought a 1995 that was in better condition. It had slightly higher mileage. When I bought second car, my first Toronado, it was a 1991. I bought a 1992 Toronado that I have now. It was only 3,000 miles higher than the one I had before. I went up in years. This is nothing new. It shows your satisfaction with your car.

Most people do replace their vehicles if they are pleased with it. The old guy at my local car hsow has owned at least 2 of each generation Lesabres since 1959 and still ahs a mint 84 Limited COupe. He was angry when they got rid of the Lesabre so he got a Lucerne.

I'd rather replace with older cars. For example, if my '77 Coupe DeVille were to some day turn into a '59, that would be fine with me. Also, after owning and driving a '96 Riviera for two and a half years I'd definitely like to now own any Riviera made before 1973.

New cars suck. :P
